I’m Dreaming of a Murdery Christmas

[chriscalledmesweetie]

Sung by Sherlock to the tune of White Christmas

I’m dreaming of a murdery Christmas

Just like the ones I used to know

Analysing hemolysin

While John would listen

Admiringly as I put on a show



I’m dreaming of a murdery Christmas

One full of mayhem, death, and crime

But now John says, “Clean up that slime

‘Cause we’re going to a pantomime”



I’m dreaming of a murdery Christmas

Not dressing up and going out

To hear idiots singing

And church bells ringing

I’d rather stay at home and pout



I’m dreaming of a murdery Christmas

And just like that, my wish comes true

John gives me a cold case and a clue

And now I have something fun to do



I’ve had a lovely murdery Christmas

Because of John’s most thoughtful gift

I enjoyed the solving

Of that case involving

A cleverly murderous facelift



Now I’ve had enough of murder this Christmas

There’s something else I want instead

There’s a merry Christmas ahead

‘Cause now I am taking John to bed

Recording!

Hey

I did a quick take of this one too. The arrangements I found only did too verses, so consider it the PG version.

Thank you so much! I love it! It works with just the first two verses, but I'm imagining you singing the last one. :D

Would it be okay for me to post a link to this here? Also, have you considered posting this and your rendition of "Sherlock Baby" on AO3? I'd love to be able to link to them at the end of my songs. No pressure, though.

I'm so glad you liked it! It was fun to perform, with all of Sherlock's pouting and whining. As I said on the other post, you can post or link to these however. Thanks for the lyrics!
